eEF1a1 activated by acetylation prevents remyelination, but if the protein is deactivated by deacetylation, myelin sheaths can be rebuilt. The findings shed light on the process of remyelination and could provide avenues of treatment for multiple sclerosis, and other conditions associated with demyelination.
Researchers have mapped the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 proteins and human cells, showing which proteins are being activated and deactivated by coronavirus. The findings reveal how the virus can spread through the human body.
